Pure Japanese style traditional House Entire house
This is one of the few remaining pure Japanese-style sho-inzukuri buildings in Hiroshima City, built 75 years ago, shortly after the war.One step from the main street, in a quiet environment, there is a small Japanese-style garden where you can relax. There are items in the Mai House that are only kept there, such as a vase that partially melted due to the heat from the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima on 6 August 1945, and photographs from around 100 years ago. The fixtures and fittings and the glass date back more than 70 years, and the two gardens, the irigata (raised floor area) and the study, in particular, capture the atmosphere of a traditional Japanese house. At present, these items can only be obtained by placing an order with a select group of craftspeople. Of the five rooms, three are tatami-mat rooms; please sleep on the tatami mats with futons placed on top of them. Located in Minami-ku, Hiroshima City, and accessible by a single tram ride within the city. From the nearest station/tram stop ①, it takes approximately 20 minutes to reach Hiroshima Station. From the nearest station/tram stop ②, you can reach the Peace Memorial Park and the Atomic Bomb Dome, as well as the city centre, in around 20–30 minutes. The taxi journey takes around 10 minutes. There are a large shopping mall, Youme Town Hiroshima, which has everything you need for daily living, convenience stores (7-Eleven, FamilyMart), and eateries (okonomiyaki, ramen, sushi, yakiniku, waffles, bakery, etc.) within walking distance.

Osamijima, Shimanami Kaido. A large deck with a view of the sea and the sunset. Open-air bath with a view of the sea. Seaside retreat
This accommodation is limited to one group per day and allows you to enjoy the beauty of the many islands in the Seto Inland Sea and the sunset. Designed by the host, an architect who has won numerous awards overseas. Not extraordinary, but a "delicate life" with the theme of enriching everyday life. You can experience that kind of life here. There is a separate indoor bath from the Hinoki bath, but the view of Setouchi and the starry sky from the Goemon bath, heated with firewood, is the best. If you're lucky, you'll see artificial satellites and meteors. The water heated by firewood never gets cold. It warms you from the core of your body. The bedding is specially ordered from a long-established bedding manufacturer in Kyoto, and the bath invites you to relax your body and mind and sleep soundly. Most guests say they sleep well. During the day, you might want to spend some time in the lounge filled with houseplants. Enjoy the sunlight shining through the trees from the skylight. Here, the right answer is to do nothing and just be. How about emptying your mind? If you request at least a week before your stay, we can prepare local food from Oshima Island and seasonal food that we can get through a special route. If you wish, you can also dine at a counter made of pure cedar, similar to a traditional Japanese restaurant.

A traditional Japanese house hotel by the sea where the sun sets. The entire building is for rent. You can also BBQ on the deck. Walking distance to Sunset Beach.
This is an old house-style villa on Ikushima, known as the citrus island, originally used as a barn, designed by a first-class architect and renovated by a craftsman. In the morning, enjoy a refreshing time on the balcony while looking out at the calm Seto Inland Sea in the clear air. In the evening, the sunset that colors the sea, sky, and island spreads out in front of you without being blocked by the building. The charm of Ikushima's sunset is that you can enjoy a different expression every day, such as a bright red one day and a romantic pastel pink another. Why not meditate in an elegant and somewhat ephemeral space, feel the power, and spend a luxurious time? The barbecue in a relaxed atmosphere is also exceptional. Enjoy the view outside from the bathroom, and on clear nights, you can also enjoy bathing while watching the starry sky. During the day, you can relax on the fluffy sofa in the building, enjoy fishing, or hop around the island. In summer, you can also enjoy swimming at Sunset Beach. Setoda Sunset Beach also has rental bicycles, so cycling is also recommended in spring and autumn. ※ Setoda Sunset Beach is a 15-minute walk.
